Little Milli

My daughter Lana Millicent Kratzke was born on 27 October 15, at 13:54.
She was 20 inches long and weighed 6 pounds, 14 ounces.

Her big brother George Drakeson Miner was named after her father's side of the family, and she is named after mine.  My mother chose my first name, Lan-Thạch, when she was just 14 years old.  "Lan" means orchid, and "Thạch" means stone, so together, my first name means "beautiful as an orchid and strong as a stone."  Lana is a shortened form of "Alana," the feminine form of "Alan," which means "little harmonious rock."  In sum, Lana and I are both meant to be as beautiful as orchids and strong as stones.  Millicent, her middle name, means "strong work."
